Hahaha so true! 🤘😎🤘
I love Django! Thank you for this amazing doc. So well done!
Thank you Dan that was a huge compliment! I appreciate your kind words and I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Cheers 🙏
Awesome inspiring tribute to a true master - if only he could have known how much influence he would later have on so many of best players around! Loved the bit about how Les Paul muscled his way in on making sure his widow was well provided for, never heard that before now!
Thank you man - I remember reading about it and Les Paul's biography years ago, but really had forgotten just how much he had gone out of his way to take care of Django's widow. Those two guys had a lot of respect for each other. Thank you kindly man!
Great video and performance 👍👍👍 Have a wonderful day 😉 Greetings Adam 😎
🤘😎🤘 Thanks Adam have a great day buddy
Kindly like and subscribe - thank you so much, you rock!
Amazing! This is the first time I ever got any details about Django's life and experiences. Fantastic that he developed unique ways to play that can also allow others to play when they're unable to play the traditional way.
Thank you very much! He has inspired so many guitar players by his sheer determination alone. Django was a true legend!
Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi was ready to hang it up after losing the tips of his fingers on his freting hand in an accident at work. His boss gave him a Django Reinhardt record and told him how He played with only two fingers after his accident. After hearing How incredible Django played and how his injury didn't seem to hamper his abilities an inspired Iommi crafted artificial finger "tips" from a combination of melted plastic and leather and began playing again. Soon after he began the band that started the heavy metal genre!
@michaelknight4041 That's one hell of a cool piece of history right there - thanks for sharing that!
What a Cool Story, I Never Knew About His Hand,Didnt Know that Much About Him,My Uncle Use to Listen to Him,Awesome Video,I Love These Storys,You Rock,Thanks for The Great Share,Now have to See What I Missed, Have a Great Day 🎸🎸🎸
Django is one of my favorite guitarist and so is Eddie Van Halen
Django rules ….. a quite informative bio , well done, enjoyed 🙏✨
He really does - thank you John I really appreciate it man.
Incredible resilience
Man i love this channel. The history of the guitar has so meny greats. And you keep introducing me to them. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. I hope your channel continues to grow, mate you deserve it 👏 👍 💙 ❤️
Thank you so much man - that really makes my day! I'm glad folks like yourself are liking this stuff. It inspires me to keep going with it. 🙏
Love him.
Interesting , Great video Brotherman :)
Thanks so much brother man! 🤘🤘
I believe the right hand or picking hand, so to speak is where the Magick or virtuoso lies beneath.
Thanks for a really interesting study, and I am loving the footage of the "Hot Club of France" band. ❤
Thank you very much! There is so little footage available, but it is fascinating that they were able to capture him in action. Even though he's highly celebrated I sort of feel like he's actually underrated. He pulled off an amazing feat being able to do those really rapid incredibly complex lines with only two fingers.
Jimmy! Thanks for spreading the word about Django Reinhardt!
Thank you Doug I appreciate it man! Django was awesome
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day also today is my dad birthday ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much my friend have a wonderful day 🙏
have you seen Sweet and Lowdown with Sean Penn? had you heard that Synyster Gates was/is studying Django? Django was a great, great player... there is a lot to be learned from what he was doing... and, that his hand was at a disadvantage is amazing....
Oh yeah! Sean Penn did him proud. And of course Alden was behind the scenes actually pulling off the parts. Great reference and great film! So many metal heads are starting to discover Django as well - and it's about time. Just amazing What Django pulled off with sheer determination. Now that is definitely inspiring!
100% the greatest!!!
Did you catch the pickup around 7 minutes, oh, of course you did 😛.. hey Jimmy
Got to love those pickups! Right on Todd 🤘😆🤘
This was very interesting. I never would have known how much he and I have in common.
One thing that doesn't make sense is that the narrator kept saying that Django used his first two fingers to fret the strings and his 3rd, or ring finger, he positioned behind them for support. That is not possible. Can anyone put their ring finger behind their middle and index fingers?
Yeah - this is the narrator by the way, I went over that quite a few times. His ring and pinky were fixed in a really unusual way due to his injury. When he healed up he actually used the front of his bent down ring finger (makes me hurt to think about it)... To offer both support to his other two fingers and actually fret the higher notes of the chords. He would angle his hand in in a peculiar fashion to pull off some of the chord work and as a result you would have a 6/9 type sound on top of the chords. When doing this story - it's hard to imagine the amount of determination he had to keep on playing. He put in a hell of a lot of work!
@guitarmeetsscience I have had a bad injury to my left hand, and I have had several surgeries on both hands. I have had to rethink how to play and relearn how to play several times. That is what I meant by the first statement. It still looks like his ring finger is in front to me, but I am just looking at it. I have zero prior knowledge on the subject.
That is the worst thing for guitar players, hand injuries. And what you say is also inspiring in the fact that from what I understand you were able to work through it and keep playing in my understanding that correct?
@guitarmeetsscience I am not able to play like I used to or how I used to. My left hand/wrist is still messed up, but I still create music. I can only play continuously for a limited amount of time, and some chords are really difficult to hold down. I finger alot of chords differently than textbook standards, but I do have my own sound. I also taught myself how to fingerpick so the right hand shares a little bit more of the load. That also contributes to the individual sound. I tend not to play very many covers since my time is limited. It is what it is. Thanks for your concern.
That footage is amazing!!!!
Approximately how long does it take you to put these videos together Jim!! Great job as always!!!!!
Thank you Marc. It takes a little while, but it is great not having to get on camera. So much more of a relaxing venture now. Much appreciated!
🤘

Jimmy Page also cites Django as an influence 🙂
Oh yeah - there are probably players out there that are influenced by Django and don't even know it, because for a few generations after him his influence was so profound. I'm sure it will resonate for generations to come.
Willy Nelson liked Django. Heard him play a couple of Django's tunes.
